Hardcore and Arena?

Does anyone know how is arena going to work for HC characters? Is it gonna be SC only? Is it gonna be available for HC but without perma death? or is it gonna be just perma death arena? Im just wondering since even if Im interested in playing HC i may end making a SC alt for PVP purposes if arena involves perma death. why? well, arena seems WAY too random. You could either be matched against some ppl way above ur level or just have some bad luck and have ur partner dc and BOOM! ur out of the picture. I do know HC is all about that, but single player (or duels) are about how can YOU take care of ur characters life, arena on the other hand, may be tricky. Ok, to sum up, does anyone have any clue? Thanks.

They have said hardcore death in arena wont be permanent, there will be a "friendly duel" type of arena.
Jay Wilson wants to implement permanent death for hardcore PvP as a second choice thought, probably coming later, in a patch.

Imo. The only possible way to have HC arena with perm. characters deaths would be similar to arena tournament realms in wow, you login, create random character with maxed out lvl, gear him up near the vendors and go pew pew! Your effort dedicated to this character is not that much thus you can go ahead and die in some arena match and you will not feel down, but for now d3 team is not planing on doing so, that's just my thoughts on this concept i guess hc arena match will end when players on the one team gets their help to 1% or something like that.

I'm a bit torn when it comes to the arena, it would be quite relaxing having no permanent death in the area, not having to focus 100% (unlike when playing PVE)

On the other hand this is hardcore so there should be dire consequences in my opinion, but i guess hardcore duels would be quite enough to satisfy those that seek that thrill, it would be cool if you got some of their loot as well when they died

Can you allow people in the game to loot your corpse when you die like in diablo 2? or has no information about that been released yet?
